Yep, and Junior, Hendrick, and National Guard pulled it off. Pretty damned good race with the new cars and slightly bigger restrictor plates. More horses and not too many wrecks. Daytona should be awesome.

GROAN. I hate it when Nascar goes to California or Watkins Glen. Cup cars just don't belong on road courses.

Mitch gotta agree they can get them wine drinkin tracks off the schedule. Besides moto=gp is alot more exciting on a road course. And you just can't beat the world of outlaws. chief

Hey Jon them choppers aren't broke it their SOP budd. The ch-47 mixmaster has always been my favorite. Ok everybody get on board and bring your 5 gallon bucket of hydraulic fluid for the flight. Look at the bright side Jon at least your not jumping out of one while people shoot at you, you,d be amazed at how much time you can cut off your 40 yard dash. By the way man keep the bigboy(don't make us all come down there and slap some sense into you liked your video too. chief

Big surprise that Junior won. Golly gee whiz, Junior's restrictor plate must've been a bit oversized. My friend Fergus, an F1 fan, used to say watching Nascar was about as exciting as watching a bunch of flies walk around a donut. Who won the cup last year?

Tramp I have watched f-1 but you can only watch follow the leader so much. Moto GP for me is a lot more exciting to watch than the cars. I still watch F-1 once and awhile but can't stick with it all day. chief

Chief, No complaints about working today from me!! It's a beautiful sunny day at the airfield, and I've just about got this VHF fixed for the birds trip to re-wire. I'm outta here at lunch to throw some yard bird on the grill and sip on a few cold brews. Other then the fact I'm nuts, life is good.

Chief, F1 is a bore these days. They try to convince us that it's exciting to watch two cars pass in the pits, but we all know it's bull. MotoGP is great racing but they need to remove all the traction control devices. I also liked the 1000cc bikes better than the 800s. Honda insisted on the 800s so that Pedrosa could beat Rossi. No one saw Ducati and Casey Stoner coming, I guess. I did.

It is a big surprise that Junior won. 1st win since May of '06. Once you understand the stratagies of restrictor plates, drafting, and pitting, you get a better handle on the Super-Speedway cup races. And yes, Junior is a Master of restrictor plate racing, much better'n his old man was at it. The real news is that now he's on a different team, (Hendrick) with an unbelievable budget, and two of the top racers in Cup competition for teammates. Johnson and Gordon. There's a tremendous amount of pressure on Junior to perform this year. He's gettin' older and hasn't won the cup yet. Jimmy (I hate him) Johnson won the title last.

No, his restrictor wouldn't have been at all oversized. Nascar issues the restrictor plates before the race and they are all exactly the same. Damn, the last 7 laps were great with the shootout between Tony and Junior.

Mitch, Nascar is not going to tell anyone that his restrictor plate was bigger than Texas, but Nascar needs Junior to win some races. Isn't Nascar kind of the Hulk Hogan wrestling of motor sport? I bet he wins the 500. Does everyone still hate Jeff Gordon? How's he doing?

Almost! But way worse! Replace those cars with loads of semis and Greyhound buses - and no sun like in that second picture, complete dark blizzard. Plus it was down to only one lane because the passing lanes were covered with snow. The windshield wipers drove me insane!!!!!!!! HYPNOTIZWD

AHHHHHHHHH!!! I want trains. Think how lovely it would have been in a train.
